The Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a classic example of dystopian literature. This paper aims to demonstrate how the novel illustrates the evolution of the concept of dystopia and discuss how the text provides a critique of the modern world. The quote “brave new world” is referenced three times throughout the novel to express, joy, confusion and finally pain and sorrow. Sentiments that are strikingly relevant in today’s world.

Around the world, women have small alarms going off, reminding them to take their daily pill, which helps prevent pregnancies. Less than sixty years ago, women would not have had this privilege, but instead would heavily rely on men to provide some sort of birth control method.
